Dr.Hasson 5527 Grafts/ Repair/ One Session/ FUT/ 10 Months

[Garageland]

This patient in his late 30's from California decided to stay local for his first hair transplant procedure. Unfortunately as you can see it didn't turn out the way he had hoped. After further research on forums such as this one he found Dr. Hasson and decided to have him repair his previous work.

 

Fortunately he still had good donor hair remaining along with great laxity to enable Dr. Hasson to harvest a large number of grafts just 8-9 months after the first procedure. Dr. Hasson eliminated the pluggy unnatural low density look of his old procedure with 5527 grafts. He rebuild the hairline and frontal zone working into the mid scalp. The bulk of the grafts were placed in the front half with a few added to the crown.

The patient was placed on Proscar at the time of surgery.

 

Graft breakdown: 1107 - singles, 3612 - doubles - 808 - 3-4 hair fu's.

 

He said he was very happy with the result, imagine that :-)

 

Look for the video of this patient on Friday.

Hi

 

Do you have any pictures from the back showing the donor area?

 

It is always beneficial to see the donor area in pictures both before and after so that we can be aware of what constitutes a good donor for our own comparisons.

Thanks very much to all of you for your comments. Snell here is the HD Video which shows a comb through of the donor.

Do you have any pictures of immediately post op? Just wondering how big a contribution proscar made.

densedream,

 

The bulk of the transplants were done in the front half where the medication had little or no impact on the result. A small amount of grafts were placed in the crown and the medication did play a roll in the overall coverage of the crown. I'll post an immediate post-op shot and expand on this when I get back to the clinic next week.

Wow. Very impressive!

Upon further review of the file, we don't have a good post op pic that clearly shows the entire scalp. This shot depicts about 5,000 of the grafts with the rest placed in the crown. As mentioned earlier, the plan was to dense pack the frontal zone and mid scalp with enough grafts to hide the previous work along with creating a natural hairline. Any additional grafts would be placed in the crown. Dr. Hasson of course felt that the priority was the front half and the patient agreed. His thoughts were to place the additional grafts in the small area of the crown that was the weakest. There was a reasonable expectation that due to the nature of the loss, the medication may improve the surrounding hair to some degree. The option would exist to perform another small session in the crown if necessary or desired. In this case the patient responded well to the medication, most would not opt for another surgery. This is a good example of why we feel many patients would benefit from the medication. In many cases while surgery does the heavy lifting, the combination of surgery and medication can produce the best long lasting results. It can be the difference between full coverage or a good result in front and on top but a thinning and eventually bald crown.
